A 27-year-old Afghan migrant was arrested for sexually assaulting a 5-year-old child in Lormont, near Bordeaux, at around 3pm on Thursday, according to a police source.
Police from the CRS Autoroute Aquitaine were called to a fight in the toilets by the manager of the Fontbelleau service station on the N230. They came across a Dutch tourist who was holding up a man to prevent him from escaping, accusing him of touching the genitals of his 5-year-old son, who was alone in the toilets.
The accused, who was legally resident in France with a residence permit application valid until January 17, 2025 and whose name was unknown in the French Criminal Record Office (TAJ), was taken into custody.
